Giveaway: Freschetta Proud To Support Pink
It's still breast cancer awareness month, and I am constantly amazed by the unique ways that companies are continuing to find ways to support this campaign. I wrote about Freschetta pizza a few months ago, and now they're back with a slightly different sort of program.
From now through October 31 - so hurry! - every time you purchase a Freschetta pizza or Artisan pizza crust, you can help them achieve a goal of donating $50,000 to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. All you need to do is enter the code from the package into their Proud to Support Pink site. They're only around $15,000 right now, so that's a lot of codes yet to be entered!
If you can't buy your pizza by then, you can still help them reach their goal. You can "donate" $1 with no purchase required with the code FRESCH11 on the same Proud to Support Pink site. Please share this with your friends and family so they can reach their $50,000 goal.
Beyond doing the nice thing, what's in it for you? Each week in October, Freschetta is giving away 50 pink iPods to those who enter the code. You know you want to be one of those 50 this week, right? And yes, Freschetta is also donating 50 pink iPods each week to cancer centers throughout the States for breast cancer patients to use while undergoing treatments. That may be a small measure of comfort, but I love the thought and effort behind it.
Now that I've talked you into buying that pizza, how about you save some money while doing so? Use this $1 off Freschetta coupon to purchase your pizza, and remember to enter your code by October 31!
Oh, and did I mention there is a giveaway associated with this, too? I have a coupon for a free Freschetta pizza and two sets of pink earbuds - one for you to keep and one to make someone's day by sharing with them (or be like me and replace the earbuds you lost ... again).
So what do you have to do to win? First of all, let me stress that you must follow all the rules. If you do not follow the rules, your entry will not count!
This contest is open until Sunday October 30 at 7pm CST. I must have a valid way to reach you, so leave me your email address in your comment or be sure your profile has your email address visible. No duplicate comments will count. This giveaway is open to US residents age 18 and older. Winners will be selected via random.org and must respond within 24 hours of being notified by me or I will select a new winner.
Mandatory Entry: Tell me who you would share your extra pair of earbuds with.
Bonus Entries (leave a comment for each entry - if you put it all in one comment, I'll count it as one entry):
1) Earn one additional entry for following me on Twitter, then tweeting this contest with the following tweet: "Think Pink with @FreschettaPizza and win yourself pizza & pink earbuds #giveaway from @honestandtruly http://bit.ly/vFt0DH" (leave a link to your tweet as your comment and make sure you do all the steps!)
2) Earn one additional entry by following this review blog publicly via Google Friend Connect.
3) Earn one additional entry by following my “regular” blog Honest & Truly! publicly via Google Friend Connect.
And no, you won't earn any extra entries for it, but you will get good karma for liking me on Facebook!
Good luck!
In the interest of full disclosure, I received a coupon and two sets of earbuds as described above. I was not compensated for this campaign. That said as always, all opinions expressed remain my own.

Giveaway: Freschetta Pizza
I adore pizza. Big shock for anyone who knows me. And since I love to cook, I frequently make my own. Yep, from scratch - dough and all. Plus, I live in Chicago, land of great pizza (sorry, New York).
There are times when I don't have the time to make the pizza from scratch. Ok, lots of times. And there are times when I can't justify spending the money on restaurant pizza - or don't have the time for that either. Those are the days where I search for something fast and easy - and yet still something I won't feel too guilty eating.
Most frozen pizzas ... just don't cut it for me. They don't taste right or they have a consistency that just doesn't work for the pizza snob in me. Freschetta claims to be a healthier pizza with more natural ingredients, and I had a shot to try their new Freschetta By the Slice.
This is a frozen pizza that is built for one - it's a single slice of pizza to be microwaved and eaten. In just four minutes, I have a meal ready - perfect for those overscheduled days.
I have to admit. I was a bit skeptical. The pizza comes in BBQ Recipe Chicken, Vegetable Medley, Chicken, Spinach & Mushroom and Six Cheese Medley. Being somewhat risk averse, I stayed away from the more traditional flavors, thinking the Barbeque Chicken might have enough flavor to outweigh the expected soggy crust and relative lack of taste. Apparently, I needn't have worried, as the pizza was crispy coming out of the microwave, and the veggies actually ... tasted like veggies. The barbeque sauce had a nice spice to it, and the chicken was actual pieces of chicken.
I actually liked the pizza. I'd buy it again - granted, this isn't a weekly thing or something I'd eat on a regular basis. There were 930mg of sodium, which is far more than I normally eat. Ditto with the 14g of fat, but pizza in general is a once in awhile treat and not something to eat all the time.
And one of you can try the Freschetta By the Slice. I am giving away not just a coupon to try it out but also a three piece Freschetta storage set. Fun, no?
So what do you have to do to win? First of all, let me stress that you must follow all the rules. If you do not follow the rules, your entry will not count!
